anyone who finds rfk jr. sexually appealing should be added to a publicly accessible registry
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.
But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

Do you ever wonder if your Police Dept. is fascist?
Maybe they performed some doubtful activities in the past, and you just aren't sure.
Here is a simple test:
How much do they cooperate with that proven fascist organization ICE? /1

It took a literal miracle to get this autistic kiddo back home to his mother bc instead of the Houston police doing what was right, which would've been to contact his mother to let her know he was safe.
They chose to call ICE instead. And terrorize an autistic child and his family.

What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

we have a stupid asshole as President -- it's ALL disturbing
It’s hard to decide which is more disturbing—that the president of the United States thinks that being disliked is a mitigating factor in the murder of a journalist; or that he considers reporters who ask questions he doesn’t like to be “insubordinate.”
Push Back Against Trump’s Press Abuse
It’s long past time for the Fourth Estate to challenge the president’s unhinged hostility and unbridled misogyny.

I've worked on farms where most of the crew were put there as rehabilitation for various issues.
So I'd love to tell you all the various ways those farms made us all worse!

the idea that permanently and irrevocably severing, estranging, and alienating a child from their entire family, community, & culture is socially beneficial only begins to make sense once you see that the social benefits are designed to flow to the adopters. 🥚

the language from both the politicians is noxious, including Klobuchar’s gratuitous reference to adoption as conferring benefits on children *and* adopters.

white saviorism -- assimilate or die
this is important legislation. but it is also important to note that while #adoption politics scrambles partisan affiliations, there is also an overwhelmingly strong bipartisan consensus that private, plenary adoption is a social good to be preserved and strengthened. the quotations illustrate this.
